"Some Girls Do" Original Half Sheet. This is the 1969 sequel to "Deadlier Than the Male." Richard Johnson reprises his role as Hugh Drummond. This time, he's investigating a series of accidents that befall the people and companies responsible for developing the world's first supersonic airliner. The project is being sabotaged by an evil mastermind who has a group of female androids at his disposal. (Actually beautiful women with robot brains.) This movie is currently unavailable in the States, but if you have a region free DVD player or live in the U.K. there's a really nice set of both movies. Here's the trailer.

"Deadlier Than the Male" Original insert and 8x10 promotional still. I just re-watched this film and I had forgotten how much fun it is. Elke Sommer (pictured above) and Sylva Koschina play 2 female assassins. They kill their targets with bombs, spear guns, and a cigar that fires a bullet into the poor fellow smoking it. With Richard Johnson as Hugh Drummond, the man tasked with finding, and stopping them. It's from 1966, and it's sequel, "Some Girls Do," came out in 1969.
